RE: [DL] has anybody done the martial artist or voodoist for d20?

[Kevin L Stoner <stone1kl@cmich.edu>]

Hey all,

In response to the Deadlands monk thing, I have not used this 
since IMHO they are far too powerful to compare to another 
DLD20  1st level character. Now I think there are a lot of 
good base ideas with it, and if I seriously create them then 
I will probably use a number of abilities from the monk. 
However monks are AB's and as such should be limited by chi. 
So that is my take on the DLd20 martial artist. Second about 
Coup-de-Grace, There is one other way to do this in D20 and 
it is the most important one to a posse. Gettin the drop on 
another cowpoke instantly gives you an initiative roll vs. 
them and if you win, they are eatin lead sandwiches. As many 
of you know the game I run is more of a hybrid of the 
original game plus d20. One of the ways I reflect this is 
with head shots, which do extra damage and allow you to 
critically hit a harrowed. That is my take on Killing blows. 
Third about the Voodooist, I think that Voodoo is another 
religion and is pretty much the same as other blessed, except 
that you may want to write up some new gifts or DI's that 
reflect voodoo powers. AS for spells, they should have access 
to the same blessed spells, except they just look nasty with 
all the blood and drugs. Not sure if Fred covers this in Way 
o the Blessed, I dont think he did. The other alternative of 
course is a new class, which I am not at all opposed to 
seeing. 

Have a happy Giving o' Thanks From your D20 pal,
